Ogilvie Fleet has begun supplying urgent care provider Medvivo with a full contract hire and SMR package.
The agreement began with an initial delivery of 13 Kia Sportage vehicles last month, with Ogilvie managing the fit-out with a wide range of bespoke equipment required for emergency response vehicles, including additional ‘alley’ lights, telematics and dashcams, alongside a full NHS-compliant livery.
Medvivo facilities manager Vic Hemmings said: “We are absolutely delighted with not only the cars Ogilvie have provided, but the incredible service we received in the build-up to delivery day and beyond.
“Mark [Beattie, Ogilvie business development manager] and his team were incredibly knowledgeable about different vehicle manufacturers and how they could suit our needs, providing us with no-obligation demos to test out.
“The bid they submitted to us was one of the most comprehensive I have seen – covering how they support businesses of our size, breaking down options and an in-depth overview of their ‘Ogilvie True Cost’ – a transparent approach to the actual cost of driving.
“One of the key deciding factors was their human approach. We have worked with service providers that treat you as just another customer in a call centre. Mark explained this was not the case at Ogilvie and that he and his dedicated Medvivo team would manage the account and that is exactly what they have done.
“The cars themselves look fantastic and we have already had great feedback from the medical responders who are out on the road with them supporting their local community.”
Beattie said: “It seemed like it was written in the stars that we should be working with Medvivo. We were speaking with Vic about Medvivo’s daily rental needs when the conversation turned to contract hire.
“We were happy to be able to showcase the full range of services we could provide and that I would be on hand throughout, providing that personal touch that was really important to Vic and Medvivo.
“The services Medvivo provide are really important to the community and we are delighted to be able to support the critical work they do with a tailored fleet solution and a team of dedicated fleet specialists.”
